A man was knocked down and killed last night on the northern highway - on that same stretch of road that Stepehen Okeke complained about in mid-August.
It happened at mile three and a half - in an area that has seen multiple fatalities of pedestrians, cyclists and care drivers in past years.
Last night, it was a pedestrian. Serafin Acosta was attempting to cross the road - when a pickup truck, headed to Belize City and driven by 35 year old Nigel Matus knocked him down.
A resident of the area - who asked to appear off camera told us what she saw:..

"What I saw last night was when the vehicle was coming and then the man was crossing the road. The vehicle knocks down the man. I came out here and I saw the man on the road, he wasn't moving."
Police have not announced what charges - if any - will be brought against Nigel Matus.
